After coupon, the entry level model — which includes a 14-inch 1366 x 768 LCD, 2.5GHz Core i5-7200U processor, 4GB of RAM, and 500GB hard drive — drops to $783.20 ($195 off). However, we'd recommend opting for the mid-tier model, which upgrades you to a 1080p LCD, doubles the RAM, and swaps in a 256GB SSD for $1,175.20 ($293 off).

We understand not everyone can afford a $900+ laptop, so for the budget-minded ThinkPad fan, we recommend the ThinkPad 13 because it offers the most bang for the buck and starts at just $549. After coupon, that starting price drops to $439.20 ($109 off) and nets you a 13.3-inch 1366 x 768 LCD, 1.8GHz Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. Again, we suggest you upgrade to a 1080p LCD, 8GB of RAM, Core i5 CPU, and double the SSD size for $871.20 after coupon ($217 off).
